Custom Fitted, Custom Built.

Mizuno builds custom equipment to industry leading precision. Our European custom assembly line in Cumbernauld Scotland was established to the same working practices as our original plant in Yoro Japan, yet we commonly dispatch within 5-7 working days of receiving orders (parts allowing).
Our network of Performance Centres, Mizuno Fitters and Swing DNA Fitting Centres will assist in locating the best model and specification for your unique golfing needs.

Mizunoswing DNA

Find your best matched shaft with theMizuno Shaft Optimizer.

Take 3 swings

Using the shaft optimizer. Strain gauges within the shaft record how you move the shaft. Golfers are generally surprised how consistent their ‘good’ and ‘bad’ swings are. Variation in the result is nearly always down to inconsistency of strike.

Enter your data into Swing DNA software

Your fitter will take data from your 3 swings of data and enter into the Swing DNA software. The software will align your unique DNA with a map of custom shafts independently measured and assessed by Mizuno.

Rank every shaft for suitability.

Our Swing DNA software will rank every available iron shaft (based on their EI curves) as best to worst theoretical match against your swing profile. The new software shows every available shaft in order of suitability.

Test the recommendations

Your Swing DNA shaft selection is based on science. After hitting the recommended options your fitter will be able to show you real world distances and dispersion. You may decide to promote a lower ranked shaft based on feel and sound. You may even prefer a non optimal flight that suits your eye. You make the final decision.

The Shaft Optimizer measures 5 elements of your swing. Club head speed alone doesn’t dictate which shaft should be most effective for your swing.

Clubhead Speed

How fast the clubhead and shaft are moving during the swing.

Tempo

How quickly the player transitions from the backswing to the downswing.

Shaft Toe Down

A measure of the bowing of the shaft in a downward direction during the downswing.

Shaft Kick Angle

The amount of shaft forward bending during the downswing motion.

Release Factor

How and when the clubhead and shaft are releasing during the downswing motion.

Lengths / Swingweights

– For most iron models Mizuno offer lighter weight heads which can be used to keep the swing weight to a standard balance for club lengths up to +1/2″ longer. Anything longer than that and the swing weight will increase above the recommended balance. (As a rough calculation, every extra 1/2″ in length will increase the swingweight by 3 balance points).

Irons can be built from 1″ shorter than standard up to a maximum of 2″ longer than standard.
Woods can be built +/- 1″ from standard length but the swingweight will increase by 3 points for every +1/2″ and reduce by 3 points for every -1/2″.

Loft and Lie adjustment

Mizuno irons can be adjusted to varying degrees depending on model and material type. In some cases, due to the softness of our forgings, “craftsman’s” marks on the hosels may result from bending them to the required loft / lie.

Any adjustment to loft will alter the bounce angle on the sole. Making the loft stronger will increase the offset and reduce the bounce angle.
For possible adjustments to particular models, please refer to the model page.
Iron lofts can be adjusted up to 2 degrees stronger than standard (note: making the loft stronger willincrease the offset and reduce the bounce angle of the sole).
No loft or lie adjustments can be made to drivers or fairway woods.
No loft angle adjustment is possible for MP-H5, JPX 850, JPX EZ, JPX Wedges, JPX Fli-Hi and Hybrid models.

Grips / Grip thickness

Mizuno fit .580 core grips as standard to all men’s steel shafts with the exception of Dynamic Gold R300 (as they have a smaller butt size a .560 is used).
Grips can be thickened with up to 5 layers of tape (Tour Velvet Midsize is equivalent to about 5 tapes).
